Very friendly, fast, efficient and down to earth. You know where you stand.
Mr M Bate - Estimator
Excellent Service. "Steve has his finger on the pulse of the printing industry. The opportunities he presented were all well matched to my skill set. There were no pointless or time wasting interviews."
"Steve early on in the process gained a clear understanding of the type of employment I was looking for. Others I have experienced were often keen just to make a placement rather than a match"
"Steve has always made himself available for questions and provided accurate and educated answers. He thoroughly understands the roles he is seeking to fill.
Mr A Wolff — Technical Mailing Specialist
"The service I received from Steve was always 1st class. He always returned my calls, acknowledged any worries or concerns I had, and gave me true and honest advice. He always kept me up to date on any progress made, I felt very confident that I as being represented by Steve". "There is no comparison, I registered with one other agency, and had to call them constantly for feedback etc. I would be told an agent would call and they never did, I just stopped using them! STR were very understanding of the fact that I had just arrived in Australia from abroad and it seemed to me that Steve took it upon himself to ensure I gained employment in a reputable and progressive company, as opposed to just placing me in the first job that came up. The knowledge of the industry that Steve has means that you are speaking to someone who knows what they are talking about. I would recommend STR to anyone in this industry
Mr P Casey — Sales Account Manager
Very professional, went above and beyond what was expected. More informative advice & knowledge of the position gave me a greater confidence. Much more personal service.
Mr M Gallagher — Operations Manager
Continual updates & follow through was great. I felt STR was working fro me to source an attractive position rather than just trying to get a person to fill a vacancy that was available. Also provides useful career advice.
Mr D Wawra — Technical Product Sales
"I have dealt with a lot of different agencies in the past 10years and I must say Steve Tonkiss Recruitment would have to be one of the best if not the best I have dealt with.
The main thing that I think makes Steve standout is the support and help I gained from him during the whole job application process. From organising interviews around other commitments to emailing me and keeping me in contact after each process.
Mr J Feather — Print Finishing Tradesman
STR has no comparisons in my opinion. Steve has the ability to make you feel confident that he will be able to find a position for you from the very first correspondence. Any referrals he gave included an in-depth report about the client. All the meetings that were set up were followed up by informative constructive feedback.
His knowledge of the industry is as good as it gets, he has the natural ability to create something out of nothing for the right candidate. I knew from the first meeting with Steve that he was going to find me a placement and he certainly was not just all talk as many others are.
All contact with STR was of the highest professional standard and it was a refreshing change to come across a company that in itself is a credit to the industry it represents.
Mr P Wilcockson — Operations Manager
Very Professional, Knowledgeable, clear concise and efficient and very personal. There is no comparison.
Miss D Henniker - Sales Account Manager

Mr G Meredith — Senior Sales Account Manager"I believe there is no comparison between STR and other agencies. As a candidate I felt like the focus was 100% on me and that is what I want. The biggest standout, amongst many, with STR was the way Steve communicated, something that I had found lacking with almost all the other agencies I have dealt with. Feedback was prompt, unclouded, direct and truthful, highlighting to me the areas I needed to focus on."
Mr G Kenny — Technical Sales Representative"Relaxed, Casual, Informative and Professional."
Miss J Waterfield — Graphic Designer / Studio Manager"STR took the time to understand my needs and to ensure that they matched those of the employer.
